But you may also know that I&#8217;ve been playing with AI tools since at least 2023 and I find this kind of tech absolutely amazing. I&#8217;ve tried a few things and failed a lot but now I feel like the time has come to successfully integrate some of these tools in my workflow and therefore, here is the first example that I&#8217;m confident enough to call a success \ud83d\ude01.<br>Of course it&#8217;s not perfect and I&#8217;m not perfectly satisfied with everything but I never am and I&#8217;m always learning + the tools apparently can&#8217;t stop to get better and better every 2 months \ud83e\udd29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to share with you how using these tools make me feel (production wise)<br>As a 3D animator I feel like a puppeteer, precisely pulling every string of my puppet to make exactly what I want. I have a lot of detailed control but it takes a lot of time.<br>With AI Tools I feel more like an art or movie director, trying to guide actors in the direction I want and iterating with several takes until I have the &#8220;good one&#8221;.<br>Both have their pros and cons (Mostly control and speed of prod imo) so I&#8217;m looking for ways to have the best of each world \ud83d\ude01.<br>Also for example a specific camera movement is a lot easier to do in 3D but animating 6 hands groping and playing realistically with boobies and flesh is a nightmare \ud83d\ude1d.<br>(And to quote Kurzgesagt : I want to use AI like the align tool in Adobe Illustrator.)<br>How was it made exactly?<br>Of course this is overly simplified but I may explain more in depth if some people are interested but to summarize the process :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make an image in Blender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(Optional) Generate a 3\/8 sec video with Wan2.2 (I2V) and take the last image of the video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make an image in Blender or Edit the previous one with Qwen\/Photoshop\/Blender(Control-Nets).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generate a 3\/8 sec video with Wan2.2 (FLF2V with the last frame you just edited)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puzzle everything in DaVinci Resolve to make it as seamless as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upscale\/Upframe with Wan2.2\/DaVinci Resolve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit\/Mask\/FX\/patchwork in Blender\/DaVinci Resolve to improve\/refine\/hide\/modify the things hard to manage otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that matter I want to give a big thanks and shout-out to IchibanFutsuJin (https:\/\/civitai.com\/user\/IchibanFutsuJin\/posts) we share a lot of helpful technical knowledge with each other and he does some of the most creative and amazing uses of these tools I&#8217;ve seen so far \ud83d\ude0d. Definitely go check his work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case I hope you appreciated this little comeback of Lara Croft and I wish you a great Halloween ^^!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take care \ud83d\ude0a\ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time has come!If I remember correctly, this is my first ever dedicated Halloween post\/media \ud83e\udd14.(Always wanted, never had time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[60,92],"media_type":[110,114],"element":[120],"class_list":["post-2382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other","tag-lara-croft","tag-all","post_format-post-format-video","media_type-videos","media_type-3d","element-special"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2382"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2387,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2382\/revisions\/2387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2382"},{"taxonomy":"media_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia_type&post=2382"},{"taxonomy":"element","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-rope-dude.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Felement&post=2382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
